thing ready. Save the manure for
that purpose, which should be fresh

the vine completely shade the trees, but
it becomes difficult to gather the grapes,

Portable quarters are provided, and we
all know that cleanliness is conducive

1t is wrong not to sweep carpet
thoroughly before removing from the
floor. A little soap bark or benzine
will remove stains, but unless of ink or
similar chemicals, hot soapsuds and a
flannel cloth are best, and may be used
with IMMUNITY on the finest and newest
carpet. Exchange.
Sugar Candy. Two pounds brown
sugar, quarter of pound of butter,
half teacupful water Boil for half an
hour, then try little in saucer, and
if it hardens pour the candy very thinly
on warm buttered plates, and put itin a
cold place-on snow or ice if possible
to harden. Walnut or shellbark kerr
nels, as many as the candy will hold,
greatly improve it. Grated cocoanut
may be used instead. Chicago NetcS.
The fattening value of grains de-
penn. largely upon the free oil or fat
contained in them, with their sugar,
starch, etc. One per cent. of oil is con-
sidered equal to more than two per
cent. of sugar and starch. At these es-
Inmates sixty-nine pounds of corn equal
seventy-eight pounds of barley, but the
barley is richer in albuminoids, and is
therefore more valuable than corn for
the development of flesh. Y. Trib-

well with sugar, strain through gauze
sieve into pitcher, add milk to your
taste and favoring. Put the pitcher in
vessel of boiling water, stir the sus
